Peyton Baxter opens up about her struggle with postpartum depression after the birth of her first child. We encourage you to speak with your physician, postpartum depression is a medical condition and not a sign of weakness or failure as a parent. 7 Postpartum Signs To Look Out For 1. Difficulty concentrating or making decisions, often referred to as “brain fog.” 2. Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, unrelated to the baby’s sleep patterns. 3. Increased irritability, mood swings, and a tendency to become easily frustrated or angry. 4. Struggling to bond with or care for the newborn, or feeling emotionally disconnected from the baby. 5. Feelings of sadness, hopelessness that last for an extended period after giving birth. 6. Avoiding social interactions and withdrawing from family and friends. 7. Significant changes in appetite, either overeating or loss of appetite.
